In the world of quantum mechanics, particles can behave like waves. This wave-like nature is crucial for understanding quantum tunnelling. Imagine a tiny particle, like an electron, approaching a hill ...
Electrochemical sensors based on measuring the tunnelling current across nanoscale electrode junctions in solution are emerging as a new class of single-molecule sensors. They combine extremely high ...
Ever shrinking: a study of the interface between silicon and silicon dioxide could lead to smaller transistors. (Courtesy: iStock/Quardia) Two researchers in China have shown how unwanted quantum ...
In the same way as gravity brings a body to a halt on the floor of a valley, the nuclear force (which binds protons and neutrons to form the atomic nucleus) and the electrical force (which combines ...
